Gardeners praise five-star weeding tool that 'saves time'
For many gardening enthusiasts, maintaining a tidy, healthy garden can be both a joy and a challenge. As seasons change and growth accelerates, it's easy for unwanted plants to take over and getting the correct tools is important.
In today's fast-paced world, gardeners are constantly looking for smarter ways to keep their outdoor spaces thriving without spending hours hunched over the soil. Now, they are in luck as they can grab the Orientools weed puller for £31.99 down from £32.99 on Amazon.
This manual weed remover is built to last, made from lightweight aluminium with a strong, rust-resistant design. It features stainless steel tines and durable steel needles for pulling out weeds easily. The comfortable PP grip handle helps reduce hand fatigue, so shoppers can work longer without discomfort.
Whether it's removing grass or small flowers, this tool helps get the job done with less effort. Using the weeder is simple - shoppers just stand upright, push the tool into the ground near the root, let the tines grab hold, tilt to one side and pull.
The long steel claws dig deep to remove weeds at the root and the adjustable handle protects shoppers back and makes the weeding more efficient. When finished, it disassembles easily for compact storage and due to its strong grip and versatile design, it works well on all types of weeds - no extra tools needed.
For some alternative options, shoppers could try the Gardena Weed Puller for £40 from Argos, which is said to be the ideal tool to effectively remove unsightly weeds in lawns and flower beds. It is also suitable for outdoor use, is weather resistant and weighs 1.2kg. Another option is the Draper Long Handled Weed Puller - Green/Black for £56.99, which is designed to remove root weeds, has a three-claw design and is lightweight.
Shoppers have rated the Orientools weed puller a high 4.3 out of 5 star rating from 2,757 reviews on Amazon. One person said: 'Functional, durable, time saving tool.'
Another said: 'Works much better than I expected and is easier on my back than kneeling. It does create holes in our hard-ish clay soil but it's easy to separate the weed from the soil core and pop it back in the hole! Holes in grass are almost invisible and probably help aerate the lawn if anything.'
'This tool has proved absolutely indispensable for pulling up large weeds like dandelions and the like from my lawns. It is very well made and the process in which weeds are pulled up is easy and effective,' said another shopper.
Not everyone agreed, however, as one person wrote: 'This weeder was bought so that I wouldn't have to bend because of my arthritis. However, I didn't find that it worked all that well for me. On some weeds, it didn't reach far enough to get all the roots out.'
Another said: 'We have used it for the weeds in the grass. If you take the time to angle it appropriately, you will get it, otherwise, it will take a handful of attempts. One of the prongs broke off after the first week of trying.'
Despite this, with a wide range of great reviews and money off, the ORIENTOOLS Weed Puller sounds like a great quality choice.

'I opened whiskey saved for 17 years and instantly learned tough lesson'
A man has shared the lesson he learnt when it comes to saving things for 'a special occasion' - as he explains how he will be enjoying life's gifts as they come from now on We're all guilty of saving something 'for a special occasion' - but it turns out when doing so, we might just be ruining the very thing we're waiting for. One man came to learn this the hard way after saving a bottle of whiskey for 17 long years, only to be left disappointed when he came to open it to enjoy its flavour. Taking to Reddit, he explained how he stashed away a bottle of Jonnie Walker Green Label almost two decades ago - and completely forgot about it until recently. However, when he came to open it, he discovered the cork had completely disintegrated. He told Newsweek: "Important lesson that I learned – the value of things changes over time. What was once very precious or hard to get, may have held a special place in our hearts/minds, may not really be that great once we go on and explore more or as we grow older." He went onto explain how he was gifted the bottle from a colleague in 2008 when he worked for a major IT company. After working long hours together, his team members joined together to buy him a gift to thank him for his hard work and to show him their appreciation for his friendship. Thankful for the gift, he decided to keep it to drink on a special occasion. But as time when on, the bottle started to collect dust at the back of his bar. Recently, he came across the bottle and decided it was finally the right time to open it up and enjoy. Despite its now crusty appearance, he admitted it still had a "nice" taste to it - but he has now learnt to enjoy things as they come rather than making himself wait for life's gifts. Sharing methods to remove the cork without it dropping into the whiskey, one user suggested: "Simply rotating the bottle vertically to soak the cork for a few seconds every few weeks is enough to preserve the cork." Another user added: "This happens frequently with old wine bottles (and just the random bad luck). "If you don't already have one get an Ah-So wine opener. Always keep some coffee filters on hand, and then decant the wine/whiskey into a new bottle to filter out any cork bits that fall down into the bottle." A third user said: "A bottle corkscrew pops these right out. If a piece breaks off it's not a big deal." One more user added: "Ideally you let the bottle sit still for as long as you can so anything and everything settles down the siphon it in another bottle using a pipe can find on Amazon or local shop selling chemistry lab stuff for schools). "Just use the same method people use to steal petrol from your bike and car. Getting the lure good stiff out while letting the dirt stay where it is. This method is also used when brewing your own beer."

"So far the inside enamel is absolutely fine and I haven't bought the oven on aesthetics, I have noticed that the outer paint/enamel is flaking off or chipping with heat and doesn't seem to like heat... whether it'll get worse, I'm not sure, but the lid has flakes coming off on the outer part and the handles are losing their enamel... the inner enamel seems to be sound... this may out some people off, but I've weighed up the price and my use of the oven.. "If it was more expensive, I would absolutely return it... I will update it's condition, perhaps withing six months or a year from now... I still love it for my breads, stews etc. But I'm interested in the inner enamel durability." Although, another added: "This is a high-quality enamelled cast iron dutch oven. It's great for going from stovetop to oven. The sellers are also kind enough to include additional accessories: what I believe is a heatproof mat, and some mini-"gloves" for gripping the handles. "I've used this for making bread, for making various one-pot recipes, for cooking rice, and for cooking soups. "It is a heavy pot but that is to be expected for cast iron and this type of pot. This is also not a negative in my opinion; it makes the pot sturdy and unlikely to topple over. It's not for every meal, but it's something you definitely want in some scenarios. Article continues below "Being enamelled, it's also nice and easy to clean. You can clean it like any other pot, unlike bare cast iron which needs to be cleaned in certain ways. I've used steel wool scrubbers on it just fine."
